Aurora Glass continued from page 1 recycling outlet,” Haldane said. “We started with bottle glass, but found window glass works better for production.” When Aurora Glass started, its production level was much lower than it is currently, and the com pany was able to use small amounts of bottle glass to fill its production needs. But after six months, the supply of glass was inadequate, Haldane said. “There is not a lot of printed material on making items from re cycled glass, while there is lots of material on making glass from scratch,” he said. “So I went to the science library at the Univer sity and read and read material on chemical composition.” His research paid off, since the foundry has now increased its pro duction by using almost all win dow glass for manufacturing. Though it is based in Eugene, the foundry sells products to more than just local residents, said Au rora Marketing Manager Patti Lomont, also an alumnus. “We have over 400 wholesale accounts,” she said. “The first year, we made $4,000 of product, and today we shipped out $4,000 alone.” Workers train at Aurora Glass as part of a vocational rehabilitation program through St. Vincent de Paul. The foundry’s profits help to pay for the charities die society op erates in Lane County. “We help people with emergency services and affordable housing,” said Rebecca Larson, the communi ty relations director for St. Vincent de Paul. Larson said the society helped 45,000 people in .Lane County through its programs in 2000. While St. Vincent’s is affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church, the society exists as a lay organization. “It means we don’t receive money from the Catholic Church. We wel come anyone from any faith,” she said. “Also, people come to us in need—we don’t proselytize to give them services.” Sue Ryan is a community reporter for the Oregon Daily Emerald.

Lane Gounty officials don’t be lieve there will be a repeat of last year’s flu shot cancellations because of a vaccine shortage. “We are not anticipating short ages of vaccines here locally,” said Sarah Hendrickson, a public health nurse for Lane County. The county decided to buy the vaccine from different pharmaceu tical companies to avoid a shortage this fall, and Dotson said the county staggered its order so the county can immediately vaccinate those who are high-risk. “In order to get the vaccine here and on time, we ordered from a dif ferent group,” Pat Dotson said, the county’s public health senior stores clerk. “Since their price is higher, then we have to charge more for shots.” Flu shots will increase from $10 to $15 this fall at county clin ics. The first clinic for the general public is scheduled for Nov. 19 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Wheeler Pavilion at the Lane County Fair grounds. The University Health Center is charging $6 for flu shots for students who are not high-risk beginning Nov. 1. Sue Ryan is a community reporter for the Oregon Daily Emerald.

News brief Student Senate approves special money requests In a 20-minute ASUO Student Senate meeting Wednesday night, senators approved special money requests to the Black Student Union and Students of the Indian Subcontinent. SIS received $288 to cover phone costs. Programs Finance Committee members told the group last year that upon getting an office, SIS could come back and ask for money for phone fees this year. “We’re just giving them the money we promised at the PFC meeting last year,” Sen.
